Quetta Ramadan Calendar 2025 – Sehri & Iftar Timings

1. What is Ramadan and why is it important?

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, observed by Muslims worldwide as a month of fasting, prayer, reflection, and community. It is significant because it is the month in which the Holy Quran was revealed to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Fasting during Ramadan is one of the Five Pillars of Islam and is an act of devotion, self-discipline, and spiritual purification.

2. What are the rules of fasting in Ramadan?

Fasting during Ramadan means abstaining from food, drink, smoking, and marital relations from dawn (Fajr) until sunset (Maghrib). Additionally, Muslims should avoid negative behaviors such as lying, gossiping, and anger. The fast is broken at sunset with Iftar, and the pre-dawn meal is called Sehri (Suhoor).

3. Who is exempt from fasting in Ramadan?

Certain individuals are exempt from fasting, including:

• Children (before puberty)
• Elderly people who are physically unable to fast
• Pregnant and breastfeeding women if fasting is harmful
• Travelers on long journeys
• Sick individuals who may worsen their condition by fasting
• Menstruating women (they must make up missed fasts later)

4. What is Laylatul Qadr, and why is it special?

Laylatul Qadr (The Night of Decree) is one of the last ten nights of Ramadan and is considered the holiest night in Islam. It is believed to be the night when the Quran was first revealed. Worship during this night is said to be better than a thousand months (83+ years) of worship. Muslims spend this night in prayer, seeking forgiveness, and reciting the Quran.

5. What happens at the end of Ramadan?

At the end of Ramadan, Muslims celebrate Eid-ul-Fitr, a joyous festival marking the end of fasting. Before the Eid prayer, Muslims give Zakat-ul-Fitr (charitable donation) to help the less fortunate. Eid is a day of gratitude, family gatherings, feasting, and sharing happiness.
